Gate News message, April 17 — OrtCloud, a Singapore-based cloud infrastructure startup, has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Golden Gate Ventures, with Antler also participating. The company is building deterministic virtual machine infrastructure designed specifically for fixed workloads and AI-agent sandboxes.
OrtCloud offers both hosted and on-premises deployment options for organizations seeking more predictable performance and billing compared to shared cloud setups. The startup has achieved seven-figure annual recurring revenue and counts OpenAI and Samsung among its customers. The company plans to use the funding for product development, hiring, and expansion across the Asia Pacific and U.S. markets.
The funding reflects growing demand for specialized compute infrastructure tailored to AI agents, which can execute untrusted code at runtime and pose security and resource management challenges in standard cloud environments. OrtCloud’s approach provides isolated sandboxes to limit risk and cap resource consumption, positioning it as an alternative to large-scale providers for organizations with specific performance or data residency requirements.

Silicon Valley AI Agent Reality: Massive Token Wastage, System Integration “Extremely Chaotic,” Huang Jen-hsun’s “Next ChatGPT” Prediction Still to Be Verified
At a recent Silicon Valley conference, several AI startup CEOs shared their views on the current issues with using AI agents, saying they face two major challenges: token waste and system confusion. Experts noted that companies need to judge more carefully when to use large language models, to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. In addition, the collaboration of multiple AI agents often leads to message-passing and state-consistency problems, indicating that standardization still needs improvement. Although Huang Renxun mentioned token compensation metrics, feedback shows that this does not equal productivity; the real value lies in effective task design.
